ILLUMINATED MIRROR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,582, dated January1?, 1882.

Application tiled July 5, 1881.

To all 4whom it may concern Be it known that we, PETER LO'IH and JULESSINDIO, both ot the city, county, and State of New York, have inventedcerta-in useful Improvements in Illuminated Mirrors, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved illuminatedmirror which reiiects light-rays upon the face ot' the person lookinginto the mirror,- whereby the image of the face will be reflected veryclearly and distinctly in a dark or darkened room.

The invention consists in-a mirrorsurrounded by a beveled frame ofground glass fitting in the front of a box lined with reflector-mirrorsand containing a source of light, the rays of which are reected by asmall retlector on the inner surface ofthe mirror, upon alarger re-Hector in the rear part of the box, from which larger' reector they arereflected through the beveled glass upon the face of th-e person lookinginto the mirror.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a lront elevation of ourimproved illuminated mirror. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectionalelevation of the same on line x x, Fig. 1.

Similar letters ol" reference indicate corresponding parts.

The mirror A is surrounded by a frame, B, composed of strips of groundglass, which strips are held by suitable metal bars and strips, and areinclined outward from the edges ofthe mirror. ing the strips ofgroundglass is hinged to the front of a box, C, and forms the front wall ot'this box, which has'its forward partlined with plate-retiectors D,either tlat or slightly corrugated. An Argand gas-burner, E, or otherburner, or any other suitable sourcel of light, is contained in the boxC, and the upper end ot' the chimney F of this burner projects throughthe. upper end ofthe box. A small concave or other suitable reiector, G,is fastened to an arm, H,vprojecting from the inner surface of themirror A, and a vlike but larger reflector, J,

is attached to the inner surface ofthe rear wall ofthe box C.

The metal frame K surr'ound- (No model.)

Theoperation is as follows: Theraysol' light from the lamp E are reectedby the reliector G upon the refiector J, and from there through thestrips of ground glass upon the face of the person looking into themirror, as indicated bythe dotted lines. As shown, the'beveledground-glass frame B causes a convergenceof the rays. As the light-raysare reflected upon the face of the person looking into the mirror theimage of this face or other object will ap. pear very distinctly andclearly on the mirror A. Our improved mirror will be found to be ofadvantage in the dark or a darkened space in which the reections of anordinary mirror would not be clear and distinct.

Having thus described our invention, Awe claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patentl. Au illuminated mirror constructedsubstantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of a mirrorsurrounded by a frame of ground glass, and having a lamp or burner andreector behind it, whereby rays of light will be reliected upon the faceof the person looking into the mirror, as set forth.

2. In an illuminated mirror, the combination, with the mirror A,surrounded by aframe, B, of ground glass, of the lamp or burner E, thereflectors G and J, and asupporting-frame, substantially as herein shownand described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. In an illuminated mirror, the combination, with the box C, providedwith at'retieetors D, ot' the mirror A, surrounded by aground-glassframe B, the rellector G, fastened to the inner surface of the mirror A,the reliector J, fastened to the rear ot' the box C, and a lamp orburner, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purposeset forth.
